Table of Contents in a Google Doc

A feature in Google docs is the ability to create a table of contents.

Start a google doc

From the insert menu create a table of contents.

This will insert at the top where the table of contents will go. You will have to update each time you have new parts to your TOC.

The TOC will automatically be populated by your use of headings.

Pay attention to which heading your are using. The larger the heading number the SMALLER the heading size. But your TOC will indent appropriately based on the heading size. So a Heading size 4 will be under a Heading size 3.

To make the TOC show up you will need to go to the top and click on where the TOC is located and click the update button.
